New Issue of CPD Perspectives on European Union Public Diplomacy

In this bilingual (English/Spanish) edition of CPD Perspectives, Teresa La Porte, Professor of International Communication at Universidad de Navarra (Spain) and past CPD Visiting Scholar, explores "The Power of the European Union in Global Governance: A Proposal for a New Public Diplomacy." She asserts, "Europe still maintains all of the conditions necessary to practice an effective power of persuasion (soft power), an ability to combine this power with still important economic and military resources (smart power), and the capacity to establish international norms of behavior (normative power)," and offers four suggestions as to how the European Union can bolster its public diplomacy activities.
